Our research focuses on three key areas: human mobility and its relationship to placeness and urban changes, advanced analytical methods for gaining a deeper spatiotemporal understanding, and the development of applications and solutions to address various urban challenges. By exploring these topics, we aim to enhance our understanding of how people interact with urban environments and how cities evolve over time, ultimately contributing to more effective and sustainable urban planning.
Urban Dynamics via Human Mobility Data
What are we researching?
Why is this research meaningful?
The study of urban dynamics has undergone a revolutionary transformation in recent years, driven by the proliferation of ubiquitous computing technologies and the resulting wealth of data they generate.
In the era of smart cities and Internet of Things (IoT), urban environments are increasingly saturated with sensors, mobile devices, and interconnected systems. This ubiquitous technological infrastructure has created unprecedented opportunities for studying placeness, human behavior, and the built environment. The importance of this research is paramount, as it offers crucial insights into how people interact with and experience urban spaces, informing urban planning, policy-making, and the design of more livable, efficient, and sustainable cities.
